Leaving certificate results at the highest ever.
Torthaí ardteiste ar na cinn is airde ariamh.
Nearly 60,000 students received their Leaving Certificate results online today.
Fuair beagnach 60,000 scoláire a gcuid torthaí ardteistiméireachta ar líne inniu.
The results are 4.4% higher than those published last year.
Tá na torthaí 4.4 faoin gcéad níos airde ná na cinn a foilsíodh anuraidh.
They were based on marks awarded by school staff to their students.
Bunaíodh iad ar mharcanna measta a thug foirne scoile dá gcuid daltaí.
Students in Connemara who spoke to RTÉ News said that they were very pleased with their results and the same story was heard from Gaeltacht principals in Donegal.
Dúirt daltaí i gConamara a labhair le Nuacht RTÉ go raibh an-sásta lena dtorthaí agus bhí an scéal céanna le cloisteáil ó phríomhoidí Gaeltachta i nDún na nGall.
Information on third level offers will be available on Friday.
Beidh eolas ar fáil maidir le tairiscintí tríú leibhéil Dé hAoine.
Teachers were asked to give them the mark they think students would get in the exams, rather than the mark that teachers would expect to get if everything was right.
Iarradh ar mhúinteoirí an marc a cheapann siad a gheobhadh scoláirí sna scrúduithe a thabhairt dóibh, seachas an marc a mbeadh súil ag muinteoirí a gheobhaidís dá mbeadh gach rud i gceart.
Only work completed by students before 12 March was included in the assessment of marks by teachers.
Níor áiríodh ach obair a chríochnaigh scoláirí roimh 12 Márta agus measúnú ar mharcanna á dhéanamh ag múinteoirí.
Estimated marks from schools were adjusted to ensure that a consistent standard was in place in all schools across the country, when assessing student performance.
Rinneadh marcanna measta ó scoileanna a choigeartú lena dheimhniú go raibh caighdeán comhsheasmhach i bhfeidhm sna scoileanna uile ar fud na tíre, nuair a bhí feidhmíocht na scoláirí á mheas.
School-by-school historical data was not used in the standardized model to confirm equity in the process.
Níor úsáideadh sonraí stairiúla scoil-ar-scoil sa tsamhail chaighdeánaithe le cothromas a dheimhniú sa phróiseas.
Indemnity has been provided to teachers from legal cases against them on the basis that they have acted properly on behalf of the state.
Tá slánaíocht curtha ar fáil do mhúinteoirí ó chásanna dlí ina n-aghaidh ar an mbonn go raibh siad ag gníomhú mar is ceart ar son an stáit.
This arrangement was made because of the coronavirus.
Rinneadh an socrú seo mar gheall ar an choróinvíreas.
